My curtains didn't cover the windows completely so I woke at 3 because the streetlight was shining through. At 8 I woke again and got up, I headed to a cafe that I had spotted yesterday, which opened at half 8. I arrived on the dot but it was shut, after hanging around for 10 minutes I gave it up as a bad job and went to my backup which I hadn't realised oped at 09.00. So it was back to the first place, which did open shortly after I got there at 08.50. I spent an hour there then went and hired a motorbike and rode to Pala-U Waterfall. On the way I was stopped at a police checkpoint and told that my UK driving licence isn't suitable to ride a bike in Thailand, apparently the tax disc was also out of date and I was fined 200 Baht (£4 or food and drink for a day). I went back and picked up my UK motorbike licence hoping it would suffice if I was stopped again, but thankfully I wasn't stopped on either journey. The waterfall is broken down into 16 major steps, although tourists can only get to the first 5 with (relative) ease, so that is how far I went. On the way down I plunged into one of the pools to cool off then sat in the sun to dry. Back at Hua Hin I went to the beach for a couple of hours again. I also spent some time trying to organise a bus further south, for about 10 minutes I was trying to explain where I wanted to go, pointing at various maps but each time the attendant said the another town. It turned out the province had the same name as the other town and that was what he was saying and I was saying the town, but eventually we got it sorted, thankfully.
